5.0 out of 5 stars Heavier than thou', November 25, 1999

The german trashers SODOM have done it again. After listening to the album atleast five times I changed my opinion on this album from average to excellent. The cover shows a picture of a man holding a mace and a chain-saw. Just imagine being pounded on your head with the mace. Thats how it feels when you listen to this album. Angelrippers voice couldn't have been better than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars [BOOM!], February 9, 2001

Sodom Came, they went.

I had listened to 'Masquerade In Blood' and 'Till Death Do Us Unite' and I knew the war that was Sodom was over, the ceasefires had been signed. When you end an album with a song called "Hey Hey Rock 'n' Roll Star" after putting out crap that just screams "We wanna be punk and are failing miserably at it!" I knew it was over. Saddened, I went to survey the damage.

And That's when I heard the Air Raid Sirens.

Code Red is the comeback album of all time. Sodom has snapped back into place, I don't know why, but they're rocking harder and heavier than they ever have. This is not for "Limp Bizkit" fans, you get your ears and a greater part of your head ripped off and handed to you. And that's the way it should be.

Notable Tracks are Liquidation, The Vice of Killing, Code Red, and Addicted to Abstinance.

I have nearly every Sodom album. I'm missing "Get What You Deserve" but I'll get around to it. Meanwhile I found "Code Red" as a used CD today and snatched it up. Turns out after checking the disc for scratches at the store, it was spotless, having never been played, or maybe even opened. Whoever the idiot was who didn't give this a listen, thanks for saving me a few bucks. As far as what you rejected, you lose.
Sodom were as sloppy as Venom's first album "Welcome To Hell" when they first appeared, but this band learned quick and very soon became a titanic force to be reckoned with especially in Europe. Only Kreator gave them much competition, being from the same hometown of Essen, Germany.
The line-up in Sodom has changed more than a baby's diapers, but with Tom Angelripper at the helm, the sound stays consistent, with his scratchy vocals and snarling bass. While some albums have varied a little in tempo, a few are speed metal barnburners. "Agent Orange" and the great "Tapping The Vein" come to mind, combining the speed and ferocity of Motorhead with their own thrash oriented riffing. "Code Red" could easily be the fastest and furious Sodom album to date. For whatever reason, they simply burn the house down with the title track, and the attack never lets up.
This is what thrash is all about - screaming guitars and a rhythm section that sounds like earth moving equipment on jet fuel. Put it in your car CD and don't blame me when you get the speeding ticket.
